Nifty Island

Nifty Island is a free-to-play Web3-powered social gaming world. It allows users to construct personalized islands and participate in various games such as races, battle royales, capture the flag, and spy hunts using their NFT avatars. Players can also earn rewards such as in-game wearables and coveted NFTs, as well as create user-generated content backed by NFTs. Moreover, the game includes a “play-to-airdrop” campaign, where users are rewarded for play, creativity, and participation within NFT communities. In addition, the game will be taking a multi-chain approach, offering NFTs on Ethereum, Polygon, and Coinbase’s Base network.

The public beta version of the game was launched in January 2024.
